Just caught Redmud's post. IS A GAS!!!! Do what he says, run a compression test first. Still don't run it anymore. Forget anything I said about turbo, is none. Forget diesel in the oil, look and smell for gasoline. Won't need to pull the manifold to look for oil, a compression test will probably tell you which one is bad, and if have low compression, gonna pull the manifold anyway to get the head off. You most certainly still van pull the valve cover and look for valve movement. Should all be the same movement (lift and duration). You still don't want to run it though. A bad valve or cracked/broken ring will still tear it up worse. I apologize, I didn't catch gas. I was thinking diesel. You should've said "Hey Mark, don't be stupid, it's a gas". I would've taken it well. Sorry. Keep us posted.
